Customer Reviews Nike Air Monarch IV

So I brought these sneakers about 7 months ago. I didn't wear them much over the winter. Now that I have had them on more they squeak! Yup, it seems like they squeak more and louder the more I wear them. I was aware of this from other reviews and some said powder in the sneaker stopped the problem but it seems to be coming from the soles as it is louder on hard surfaces than on carpeting. With all this said it can be a bit embarrassing. It sounds like one is passing gas with each step that is taken.

So I am hard to fit but these did fit me. The bottom is comfortable and the width was good. The only reason I could not keep them is they were just too heavy for me and I found a shoe that is lighter with the same comfort. I am a woman and probably a man would not mind the weight.

Shoe was fine the first couple of days. Then it started causing me pain on top right part of my left foot. Pain so bad I am scared to put them on again

I have had these shoes for a few month's now and they are okay. Size was good, width was good, but support could be much better. More padding is needed, especially in the heel area. I have Plantar Fasciitis and they just aren't padded enough to help with that. They would be a great shoe with more padding and arch support.

His is the tale of the tape; The whites are made in Indonesia (no problem). The blacks are made in China (they will slip off from the heel). I usually wear size 10 on tennis shoes. I ordered 9-1/2 to compare, yet too small, and the blacks still slipped off from the heel. The main thing is; Zappos takes care of buniness no matter what....that is what counts !

This is my fourth pair of red/white/black Air Monarchs-- but I won't be keeping them. I loved the fit of my previous three pair because I need a wide toe box. This pair-- made in Indonesia-- has nice soft leather but my toes are all scrunched. The length is same as my old pairs.

I got these in black for regular everyday use after breaking a toe because the wide fit accommodated me better than other shoes and I needed dark shoes for work. The price was also really good for Nike. I continued to wear them, but they developed the most annoying squeak I've ever had in a shoe. Eventually, the squeak came to both embarrass and bother the hell out of me so I stopped wearing them. Funny thing is, I also got the white version, which is more like a traditional sneaker, and I haven't noticed the squeak. Summary: great for comfort and price, horrible for noise but maybe OK if you stick with the white and not the black.

Could use more padding. Over time begins to squeak alot

Could use more padding. Over time begins to squeak alot.

I cancelled my order because I wasnt paying attention to the brand. I dont buy Nike products. Period

These are just ok. If you are on a tight budget they work. There are better shoes for wide feet out there if you don't mind paying more. Brooks, New balance are good choices and last way longer than any nike will. SAS is a good brand if you are looking for similar wide construction.

The air pocket in the shoes broke after 2 months.

Nice

I've been buying these shoes for years for the comfort, but after a month they do start squeeking while you walk. It is annoying, but the price I pay until I can find a similar comfortable shoe which is quiet.

I liked the style, and the length seemed true. The width is listed here as 4E -- don't make the mistake I did and assume it will fit your wide foot. 4E is REALLY REALLY WIDE -- much too wide for my fat foot -- so I had to return the sneakers (which was simple with Zappos). I found another tennis sneaker that is 2E which was a much better fit -- but unfortunately not the Air Monarch IV.

Nike’s used to feel so comfortable. I decided to give them another shot and remembered why I upgraded to more expensive/comfortable shoes that have true arch support. These shoes are ok for the value, but I do not recommend for someone with arch support/foot pain issues. Stick to the higher quality.

Didn't work for me. I bought a pair in red/black, 15 4E and they were great. So I ordered the same shoe one in black and one in white. Both of these had a seam that rubbed on my little toe. I thought they would get better as they loosened up. They did not, can't wear either pair, big callus on my toe and severe pain. Not sure why they fit different but the do by a lot,

Was not happy. Shoe was heavy and rubbed against my ankle bone.

Fit/size fine. Glue holding sole on fails prematurely, then I have to buy shoe goo from walmart to repair them. Advice for people when the shoes get noisy. Pull out the inner cushion and put baby powder in the shoe then put the cushion back in. Noise is coming from the glue breaking down between the sole of shoe and inner liner. I read to do this on the internet and it does work.

Should have ordered a size 11-1/2. And, it was not listed as non-skid soles.

Toe box is small. Had to return. Love zappos support team.

Nice shoe. Arch support not adequate. Shoe felt very heavy and awkward.

This shoe has a lot of upper — it's a bigger, heavier shoe, and the uppers are significantly more built than comparable wide shoes.

comfortable sneaks, but wear out quickly. However I will NEVER purchase a Nike product again. I respect my country more than supporting such a disrespectful company.

I wear 4E. It is what my current shoes are. However these felt tight, narrow.
